Residents were given a glimpse of life in the 1920s at a recent event.

The North East Wales Archives in Ruthin hosted the free event, inviting locals to explore the past through photographs, newspapers, and records, including those related to the Women’s Peace Petition.

Attendees were given the chance to 'get crafty' with local artist Rachel Evans, who has been working with the archives to create an art project for children based on local archival collections.

A guest photographer also provided unique portraits, developed in just five minutes, using Wales' only street box camera.

Councillor Emrys Wynne, lead member for Welsh Language, Culture and Heritage, said: "This event allowed residents to take a step back and be immersed in the history of their local area.

"Residents got to see some of the best of our archives collections from 100 years ago."

The event also served as a platform to discuss the Creative Archives project.

This initiative, funded by the National Lottery Heritage development grant, aims to further plans for a new archive centre in Mold and a related activity programme.

Sarah Roberts, archivist at North East Wales Archives, said: "We had over 170 people through our doors to celebrate the annual open doors event in Ruthin.

"It was wonderful to see so many people discovering the stories from our collections."
